I am a Navy Veteran (13+ years) and I am a World War II history buff. I built many models when I was a kid and I picked the hobby back up about three years ago. My main focus has been 1:350 scale ships, but I have also worked on several different 1:48 scale aircraft. I like to build models of ships or aircraft that I served on or had some connection to while I was in the Navy. Some of the models include:
USS Vicksburg (CG 69)
USS Cushing (DDG 985)
USS The Sullicans (DDG 68)
USS Arizona (BB 39)
Marshal Ustivov (Russian CG)
Admiral Paneleev (Russian DDG)
EP-3E Aries II (VQ-1)
F-14D Tomcat (VF-31)
My level of experience is by no means expert. I want to add more detail to my models, like rigging/railing on the ships and weathering on the aircraft. I look forward to learning more from these forums!
